Pharrell sold his now famous hat on eBay for $44,100, to raise money for his charity, From One Hand to AnOther.
The artist took to Twitter to thank the buyer—and the buyer responded back, with a snapshot of their purchase. Turned out it was Arby's, the sandwich chain that got a ton a publicity thanks to the hat's similarity to their logo, back when Pharrell debuted it at the Grammys.
.@Pharrell You're welcome. We're HAPPY to support a great cause & get our hat back. Good luck at the #Oscars tonight! pic.twitter.com/2oA7qDPX9z
Looks like it took them a little more than a month to finally get "their" hat back—it just cost them a pretty penny, but it's worth it for charity.
